Mills Corporation bought the mall from Gator Investments in September 2002 and announced that the mall would undergo further redevelopment, along with a name change to Cincinnati Mills. As part of the redevelopment, Mills forced many small independent businesses out of the property. Renovations began in January 2003, which included new paint, floors, and signage throughout, along with differently-themed decor for each wing of the mall, typical of properties developed by Mills at the time. After a $70 million renovation project, the mall reopened officially as Cincinnati Mills on August 19, 2004.

When the mall was renamed Forest Fair Village, the signages of the mall are still showing Cincinnati Mall.
On December 2, 2022, the mall was finally permanently closed to the public after the city of Forest Park fire department closed all remaining businesses due to several fire code violations.
